Cornerback Jaylen Watson revealed late Sunday that his home was broken into while he was away playing for Kansas City in their 26–9 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Returning home after the game, Watson shared the blunt and unsettling discovery on social media: “Welp get home and my house got broken into.”

His case immediately reignited memories of last year’s high-profile burglaries involving Chiefs superstars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, whose homes were targeted during a coordinated, nationwide crime spree that also hit athletes like Joe Burrow and Luka Dončić.

Kelce’s $6 million Leawood, Kansas property was ransacked in October 2024 — on the same day the Chiefs defeated the Saints, with fiancée Taylor Swift watching from the stands. Jewelry worth around $100,000 and Kelce’s first-ever Super Bowl jersey were among the items stolen. Mahomes’ Missouri home was hit just hours earlier, with thieves reportedly making off with jerseys, trophies, medals and designer items belonging to his wife, Brittany.

Sources later revealed Kelce “spared no expense” in upgrading security, adding reinforced locks and advanced surveillance systems after the ordeal.

While Watson has not yet disclosed what was taken, the incident adds to a growing list of recent break-ins. In the past week alone, WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu, Titans standout Jeffery Simmons, and NFL rookie Shedeur Sanders have all fallen victim to similar crimes — often occurring while the athletes were competing.

Authorities believe many of these burglaries are linked to organized South American crime rings that specifically track professional athletes’ schedules, striking affluent homes when players are guaranteed to be away. Several suspects connected to the Mahomes and Kelce cases were formally charged earlier this year.

For the Chiefs, the message is clear: the threat is real, recurring, and dangerously close to home — again.
